Help with ABA - How do i get started?

[mum2fred]

OK. There seems to be a consensus on here that ABA is a really effective way to go and dh and I really want to get a program started (ds1 2.5 ASD). Just wasted an hour trying to source good info on it (should have just stayed on MN!)

So far I have had a good look at PEACH and requested an info pack.

Does anyone else know of an organisation/ case manager / consultant that works from central or South London? Personal recommendations would be adored.

ALSO

We have miraculously managed to get DS into a very nice local nursey for 2 days a week (as his socialisation sits on zero) and would like to keep him in that. Would ABA be able to work around that - ie. is is possible/ effective to do it part-time over 3 days a week?

ALSO

how long will it take me (if i push hard) to get a program up and running?

Any other thoughts, links or first-hand experiences with ABA would be appreciated.

Phew! Thanking you in advance.....

Trouble is also, until now, people with BCBA have been charging people who want to take BCBA exams an arm and a leg for compulsorty supervision.

My fantastic academic supervisor does not charge as he considers it a moral issue (and foregoes about £25 00 a year because of it).His hope is that we will achieve a critical mass who will in turn supervise others for nowt in the next few years.

He is a depply honourable man.
